I think he's a lot better coach than he gets credit for. This team isn't winning s***, regardless who's behind the bench, but losing this often, this badly, something's gotta give. Consistently getting blown out in games is not good for morale. If Gallant wants a job tomorrow, it should be his. In saying that, I wouldn't be completely against letting Blashill finish off the season, but after an 8-2 thumping last night, now is as good a time as any to let him go. I'm sure Gallant has a soft spot for Detroit and the Red Wing, and is great friends with Yzerman, so I'm sure he'd take the job, if Yzerman wants him... Im just not comfortable with a 12 pt lead for last spot, as awful as we are i feel like we should have way more of a lead to get guaranteed top 4 pick. We win 5 straight and l.a/sens keep losing this horrendous season thus far might end up being for nothing I get no pleasure watching us get slaughtered but im just keeping my eyes on the prize and thinking of the draft . You can say this team aint winning s*** and you might be right but why take the chance? Why go from guaranteed last spot to 3/4, drop 3 spots and get 6/7 again I will admit after seeing the score be 6, then 7-1 i was telling myself please dont let us lose 10/11/12 to 1 cause i couldnt see how he’d have no choice but to fire him . Ive wanted him gone for so long but at this point like i said i just keep thinking to myself 3 more months of this ham and its over. Yup i thought the same thing with gallant being an ex teammate and ex redwing and how he might have a chance of coming over . I also think if yzerman told him to unwind and recoup and get ready when the time comes he’d consider it , he’s getting paid either way and id be surprised if he jumped ship right away to a new team unless it was a possible contender. Montreal media here keeps talking about bringing him over but i dont know why he would come to this trainwreck of a media 3 more months man... 3 more months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Yzerman feels there is a better option available, then he should pursue that. Firing Blash because of the last couple blowouts solves nothing. As you know, I've long been a Blashill supporter, but at some point someone needs to take the heat for all the blowouts. There's been a LOT. That's usually the coach. I agree though, if Yzerman doesn't see a suitable replacement out of the coaches available now (/this summer), I'm completely fine with riding it out with Blash. I could see Yzerman and Gallant reuniting though, and I wouldn't hate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, he just doesn;t seem to have been a head coach in the league as long as many other who keep getting rehired have. Like, I don't get what anyone sees in DeBoer.

Basically he's had more playoff success than Gallant. But he looks like a loser. Apparently how a coach looks matters to me. Spoiled from years of Flo-cock, Handsome coach.
